The Nintendo DSi has been hacked by pirates, despite Nintendo’s best efforts to make DS piracy walk the plank. Read on to find out how it’s done.

Nintendo must have thought it had stamped out DS piracy once and for all with the Nintendo DSi, as Nintendo can push online firmware upgrades on to it to block any work arounds.

Except this new work around, that is. Supercard has just announced the DSONEi, which beats Nintendo at its own game by letting you update the DSONEi flashcart with its own firmware. Whenever Nintendo DSi comes up with a block, Supercard will go back to the drawing board and come up with a new hack, ready for you to download.

Granted, it’s not a perfect solution for anyone looking to play pirated games on the Nintendo DSi, but then you shouldn’t be doing it anyway, eh? Expect the DSONEi to go on sale soon.

    wooooow. thats not even a “hack” nintendo knew they could easily make another one of those flashcards. nintendo is not that dumb to think they could stamp out hacks like that. thats why the dsi has firmwares, so when it does come out they can just put out a new update
